Police took three suspects to the scene on Sunday morning, October 4, to reconstruct events in a child-sexual-assault investigation in Phansidewa, Darjeeling district, according to Ganashakti’s local report.
The inquiry concerns allegations of repeated rape and blackmail. Ganashakti quoted Sub-Divisional Police Officer Saumyajit Roy saying investigators were carrying out the reconstruction to examine evidence while the accused were in court-authorised police custody. The case remains under investigation.
Hindustan Times independently corroborates the three-suspect case. The reports disagree on the arrest and remand day, which this account leaves unconfirmed. October 4 refers to the reconstruction, not an asserted date of the alleged assaults.
Neither report includes the accused’s response or a finding of guilt. The child’s identity, family details, precise locality and medical information are withheld.
